History

DJ Paul, Juicy J, along with Nicholas "Nick Scarfo" Jackson, founded Prophet in 1991. Three 6 Mafia would release their first two albums, Mystic Stylez and Chapter 1: The End on the label. DJ Paul and Juicy J would soon have a falling out with Nick Scarfo and as a result, leaving Prophet and founding their own label, Hypnotize Minds, taking Three 6 Mafia with them. Nick Scarfo bought artist Indo G out of his contract with Hypnotize Minds for $120,000 and would go on to sue DJ Paul and Juicy J, though they ended up settling all matters out of court.

In early 2000 some former members of the original Prophet returned to the label. In 2007, Nick Scarfo relaunched Prophet and would go on to release a new album featuring the original Prophet Posse called The Return. Some original Prophet and former Hypnotize Minds members such as Gangsta Boo, T-Rock, K-Rock, Koopsta Knicca, and Lil Pat would work with Prophet Posse. The last Prophet release was Hood U.S.A., in 2008. Nick Scarfo died on August 7, 2015.
